[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hell do you expect? Wages don't grow. Housing is completely unaffordable. Childcare costs are insane. Healthcare is ludicrous. Even if you had kids, stupid minivan to haul them around to soccer practice now costs $40k. And don't even talk about college costs.... You want to die in poverty? Have a kid. Younger generations didn't create these problems. They're the ones that have to live with them though. The only solution is to not have kids just so that you can keep your financial head above water. [/quote] It's not money, it's decades of Hollywood and feminist propaganda. It's "cool" and "sophisticated" and "worldly" to piss away your prime fertility years living in the big city and traveling and waiting two hours to be seated for a hip brunch and rising the ladder at your make-work career, so you can piss more money away on shoes, travel, and instagram-worthy furniture. #GirlBoss #LeanIn[/quote] Why is it "pissing away" your time if you are doing what you want to do? Do you really think so little of women that you think we can't decide for ourselves how we want to live - what are we, robots who watch one episode of SATC and then that's it, it's all shoes and whatever else we cared about is out the window? I think you look down on women in every possible way, and your post just shows how little you think of our brains or lives. Having children young - or at all for that matter - is not the be all and end all for three dimensional people who are evaluation options and making decisions. At least not for all of us. Sorry if you can't see beyond your own personal experience to understand that not everyone wants to be you, and that's not because of Hollywood.[/quote]
